Package edu.cmu.tetrad.graph

Class Edge

java.lang.Object
edu.cmu.tetrad.graph.Edge
All Implemented Interfaces:
TetradSerializable, Serializable, Comparable<Edge>
public class Edge extends Object implements TetradSerializable, Comparable<Edge>
Represents an edge node1 *-# node2 where * and # are endpoints of type Endpoint--that is, Endpoint.TAIL, Endpoint.ARROW, or Endpoint.CIRCLE.

Note that because speed is of the essence, and Edge cannot be compared to an object of any other type; this will throw an exception.

    • Edge

      public Edge(Node node1, Node node2, Endpoint endpoint1, Endpoint endpoint2)
      Constructs a new edge by specifying the nodes it connects and the endpoint types.
      Parameters:
      node1 - the first node
      node2 - the second node _
      endpoint1 - the endpoint at the first node
      endpoint2 - the endpoint at the second node

    • Edge

      public Edge(Node node1, Node node2, Endpoint endpoint1, Endpoint endpoint2, boolean flipIfBackwards)
      Constructs an Edge by specifying two nodes, their corresponding endpoints, and whether to flip the direction of the edge if it is pointing backwards.
      Parameters:
      node1 - the first node of the edge; must not be null
      node2 - the second node of the edge; must not be null
      endpoint1 - the endpoint type for the first node; must not be null
      endpoint2 - the endpoint type for the second node; must not be null
      flipIfBackwards - a boolean indicating whether to flip the nodes and endpoints if the edge is considered to be pointing backwards
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if any of the nodes or endpoints are null
